"Russian physiologist and Nobel Prize winner Ivan Pavlov is most famous for his development of the concept of the conditional
reflex and the classic experiment in which he trained a dog to salivate at the sound of a bell. In Pavlov's Physiology Factory:
Experiment, Interpretation, Laboratory Enterprise, Daniel P. Todes explores Pavlov's early work in digestive physiology through
the structures and practices of his landmark laboratory - the physiology section of the Imperial Institute of Experimental
Medicine." "In Lectures on the Work of the Main Digestive Glands, for which Pavlov won the Nobel Prize in 1904, the scientist
frequently referred to the experiments of his coworkers and stated that his conclusions reflected "the deed of the entire
laboratory." This novel claim caused the prize committee some consternation. Was he alone deserving of the prize? Examining
the fascinating content of Pavlov's scientific notes and correspondence, unpublished memoirs, and laboratory publications,
Todes explores the importance of Pavlov's directorship of what the author calls a "physiology factory" and illuminates its
relationship to Pavlov's Nobel Prize-winning work and the research on conditional reflexes that followed it."--Jacket

"Using a wide variety of previously unavailable archival materials, Todes tells a vivid story of that life and redefines Pavlov's
legacy. Pavlov was not, in fact, a behaviorist who believed that psychology should address only external behaviors; rather,
he sought to explain the emotional and intellectual life of animals and humans, "the torments of our consciousness." This
iconic "objectivist" was actually a profoundly anthropomorphic thinker whose science was suffused with his own experiences,
values, and subjective interpretations. Todes's story of this powerful personality and extraordinary man is based upon interviews
with surviving coworkers and family members (along with never-before-analyzed taped interviews from the 1960s and 1970s),
examination of hundreds of scientific works by Pavlov and his coworkers, and close analysis of materials from some twenty-five
archives. The materials range from the records of his student years at Riazan Seminary to the transcripts of the Communist
Party cells in his labs, and from his scientific manuscripts and notebooks to his political speeches; they include revealing
love letters to his future wife and correspondence with hundreds of scholars, artists, and Communist Party leaders; and memoirs
by many coworkers, his daughter, his wife, and his lover"--Publisher's description
